Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

Find the percent composition of C7H5N3O6
Oksana_A [137]

Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.

First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.

7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077

5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04

3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021

6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994

Add all of those pieces together.

84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.

Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %

Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %

Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %

Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %

You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.

The percent of remaining parent isotope in a radioactive decay process is 40 percent. How many half-lives have elapsed since the
muminat

Answer: Between 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}        ............(1)

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives  = 40

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant  = 100

n = number of half lives

Putting in the values we get:

40=\frac{100}{2^n}  

2^n=2.5

taking log on both sides

nlog(2)=log(2.5)

n=1.32

Thus half-lives that have elapsed is between 1 and 2
